APD New Initiates Hit Record-High Average GPA for Fall 2016

12/28/2016

 
Picture
The 2016 Report on New Initiates shows some great academic news for Alpha Phi Delta. Key items to note:
  • The Average GPA of new members in our undergraduate Chapters was 3.11 -- this is a record high in the years since this data has been recorded.
  • The Average GPA of new members in our colonies (expansion) was even better at 3.12. Kudos to our Expansion Chairman, Sal Flagiello.
  • Our top five Districts for the fall semester 2016, in terms of average GPA for new members, are as follows: 
​
  1. The Hudson Valley District (3.34)
  2. The Delaware Valley District (3.22)
  3. The New York City North District (3.18)
  4. The Connecticut District (3.17)
  5. The Central Pennsylvania District (3.16)
 
  • These academic results from our newest brothers, combined with our 2015-16 school year achievement of having an 85% graduation rate for our members, show Alpha Phi Delta Fraternity to be an academic powerhouse.

Congratulations, to our undergraduate brothers in making Alpha Phi Delta stronger and stronger in its academic results. Faciamus!

APD History from the 1980s: Some Alumni Clubs and Other Items 

12/28/2016

 
​As part of the Fraternity's Archiving Project, various documents and items from the Fraternity's archives are being scanned for purposes of historical preservation. To get a small taste of this, we have set aside some archived documents for viewing online. Here what you can look at right now online:

The Brooklyn Alumni Club- 1986 documents (30 years ago)
The Long Island Alumni Club- 1986 documents (30 years ago)
The New York Alumni Club - 1986 documents (30 years ago)
The North Jersey Club - 1986 documents (30 years ago)
The Pittsburgh Alumni Club - 1981 documents (35years ago)

Below is a post of the 1986 New York City (3rd) District archives of minutes and other items. There will be much, much more to come from this project in the months and years ahead!

A musical Christmas greeting from the National President

12/24/2016

 
During the holiday season, we encounter a voluminous portfolio of wonderful music.  National President Jim Miller came across a slection that is sure to make you smile, courtesy of Jimmy Fallon, Paul McCartner and company.  Buon Natale!

APD Last Name Leaders: Smith and Russo

12/8/2016

 
Did you ever wonder which surname (last name) is the most common in our Fraternity? Okay, probably not. But that won't stop us from sharing the answer to that question.
​
For a number of years "Russo" ruled the roost as the most common last name in all of Alpha Phi Delta. However, in the past two years, five new brothers with the last name "Smith" have been initiated, leap frogging "Smith" over "Russo" as the most common last name in all of Alpha Phi Delta. "Miller," "Caputo," and "Jones" also saw an uptick in our rankings. 

The top ten APD surnames are: #1 Smith (54); #2 Russo (52); #3 Marino (30); #4 Esposito (30); #5 Miller (29); #6 Johnson (28); #7 Brown (28); #8 Caputo (26); #9 Romano (25); #10 Jones (24).

See the chart photo below for all of the details.

Brothers, I hope that all of you enjoyed a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving with your families. I offer my prayers and wishes that all of you enjoy a peaceful and joyous Christmas and a prosperous new year. Please be safe in all that you do.  We pray that everyone uses the intellect and judgment that God has given us to be the best people that we can be.  In 2017, let us advance the ideals of Alpha Phi Delta beyond what we have even imagined.  

Faciamus!
Brother Jim Miller 
​National President
